Surgeon Testimonial Alex Argotte, M.D. First impression is very positive of the dr. and his staff and facility. Aftercare is huge with him and that's a big selling point with me. We were informed of the risks of surgery. This will not be a swift process, but I am convinced that he is so very thorough that the risks will be minimal. My husband was not too sure about the safety of the surgery, but felt very confident after talking with Dr. Argotte. I'm so very thankful that this doctor is there, and that he has compassion for the morbidly obese. 3-24-07 I am finished with all the testing, and it has all gone to the insurance company for approval. Having been to the clinic several times now, my impression just continues to be positive. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and caring. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Argotte to everyone. The aftercare with him is much more thorough than with other drs. I have inquired about. After the first two years, you still see him every 3 months forever. That is just excellent. I will post again after surgery-woo-hoo! Member Interests

Here I am, a month since my last posting, and I STILL haven't hit 50 lbs lost! But I am at 48 lbs down. Boy, I'm crawling to this 50 lb mark. As long as it is still moving tho, it's still working. I've had bit of a problem this week. Tuesday night I was eating supper, and got stuck. Went to the bathroom and was spitting up blood. So I quit trying to eat. No more blood, no pain at all, no tasting blood and no more episodes. The next day, I couldn't swallow any food at all, not even applesauce. So I called Dr. A. He wanted to see me first thing this morning, so DH and I went. He said it could be an ulcer or even just irritation. But he's going to do an endoscopy on the 18th to look at my esophagus and stomach to make sure everything is okay. And I'm to stay on liguids and soft foods for about 3 days. I had just been to see him for my regular appt. a week ago. And he was pleased with my progress. I didn't start losing well until I was 8 months out from sugery. But since then I have lost 21 pounds, in the last four months, so he said that is a good thing. So we'll see if there is anything that needs attention and keep going on this journey. Until next time....... 0 Comment(s)
